ACYL-HOMOSERINE LACTONE DERIVATIVES FOR IMPROVING PLANT YIELD

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for improving crop yield, chlorophyll content, seed germination, nutrient uptake or mycorrhizal symbiotic interaction of a plant, comprising the use of acyl-homoserine lactone derivatives and to composition comprising said derivatives of formula (I) or (II) wherein ・R1 is hydrogen or hydroxyl; ・R2 is a saturated or mono-unsaturated linear aliphatic group comprising 1 to 15 atoms.
